有別於既有文獻的總體時間序列資料觀點，本研究從個體資料的角度，分析台灣男性高、低技術受雇人員工資差異受到國際化程度的影響，強調資本外移至不同發展程度國家對工資變化邊際效果之異同。結果發現，對OECD國家的直接投資帶來技術學習效果而提昇高技術工資，對非OECD國家的投資則基於比較利益原則而壓抑低技術工資；兩種類型的對外直接投資都使得工資差異擴大。此外，資本外移對工資的影響存在顯著的落後效果而不容忽視。

Aside from the time-series macro analyses in the existing literature, this paper examines the effect of internationalization on male wage dif­ferentials from the micro data point of view, focusing on various mar­ginal effects derived from foreign direct investment (FDI) in countries at different levels of development. Results show that FDI in OECD coun­tries brought technology learning effects to benefit skilled labor wages, while FDI in non-OECD countries dampened unskilled labor wages due to comparative advantage principles. Consequently, FDI enlarged wage differentials between skilled and unskilled labor regardless of the invest­ment in OECD or non-OECD countries. Furthermore, it is worthwhile to note the existence of significant effects of lagged FDI on wage differen­tials.
